Palo Cortado
La Bota de Palo Cortado 121 ‘Navazos’ is the fourth release (the previous editions were numbered 52, 75 and 102). This is a Palo Cortado that, despite its relative youth, honours the strict demands of softness, purity and complexity that every wine must meet to belong in this noble category of Palo Cortado.
This truly delicate and attractive palo Corta is doubly excellent because it is a single-vineyard, single-vintage wine: it comes from a selection of musts derived from grapes harvested in 2010 in the Pago Miraflores La Baja, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, old vines (one plot is 50+ years old, and a second 80+ years old). It was then matured in Sherry casks up to the ridges to prevent excessive oxidation. For this No. 118, Edurodo and his team from Equipo Navazos selected the contents of a few 225 liter barrels that already showed excellent balance and delicacy (note: these are the sisters of the barrels from which edition No. 75 came).

It’s hard to exactly pin Palo Cortado down, that’s why most have stopped trying. Surprising complexities balanced with delicate curiosities. Bitter orange and citric caramel make a truly unique companion for equally elusive courses or a light cigar to mirror one’s soul in and contemplate adventure.
Goes well with nuts, cured cheeses, stews and gelatinous meats like bull’s tail or cheeks
